You need to set things up on the “server” in order for this to work, and you will need to look at the server afterwards to confirm that all was well.</P ><P >For each interface in turn, this test attempts to read by tftp from the server, a file called <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >tftp_get</TT > and prints the status and contents it read (if any). It then writes the same data to a file called <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >tftp_put</TT > on the same server.</P ><P >In order for this to succeed, both files must already exist. The TFTP protocol does not require that a WRQ request _create_ a file, just that it can write it. The TFTP server on Linux certainly will only allow writes to an existing file, given the appropriate permission. Thus, you need to have these files in place, with proper permission, before running the test.</P ><P >The conventional place for the tftp server to operate in LINUX is /tftpboot/; you will likely need root privileges to create files there. The data contents of <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >tftp_get</TT > can be anything you like, but anything very large will waste lots of time printing it on the test’s stdout, and anything above 32kB will cause a buffer overflow and unpredictable failure.</P ><P >Creating an empty tftp_put file (eg. by copying /dev/null to it) is neatest.

The dummy filesystem which underlies the server initially contains one file, called “uu” which contains part of a familiar text and some padding. It also accommodates creation of 3 further files of up to 1Mb in size and names of up to 256 bytes. Exceeding these limits will cause a buffer overflow and unpredictable failure.</P ><P >The dummy filesystem is an implementation of the generic API which allows a true filesystem to be attached to the tftp server in the network stack.</P ><P >We have been testing the tftp server by running the test on the target board, then using two different host computers connecting to the different target interfaces, putting a file from each, getting the “uu” file, and getting the file from the other computer. This verifies that data is preserved during the transfer as well as interworking with standard tftp applications.</P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="net-common-performance-test.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="ecos-ref.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="net-common-maintenance-tools.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Performance Test</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="net-common-tests-and-demonstrations.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Maintenance Tools</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
